Just WOW! After tubing stopped at this cute location that had a sign for coffee and ice cream! Well once I walked in I was welcomed the smell was amazing and I didn’t know where to start! I got the Tres Leches and 2 Cheesecakes with Cherry topping. All made from scratch put it in a box with utensils to go! The place was already good in my option until the food. WOW WOW WOW. Will be back tomorrow I can say this is top 3 desserts I have ever tasted! The tres leches so delicious but yet light and not leaving you full despise the generous slices. And the cheese cake, I want to eat it every day! The cherries were so amazing and I can’t get the taste out of my mouth! Best hands down! I will be while in town eating here and definitely taking some of the home made jam! I think I may buy out the cherry one it i see it! I can’t recommend this spectacular surprise we ran into! I wish this man so much success the kindness and the taste are definitely a gift to be shared!

Stop in if you are lucky enough to catch them open. Their current hours are Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.We had ice cream - chocolate fudge, butter pecan, pistachio and black cherry. I assure you that they are better than any you can buy in the grocery store. And they have other flavors, shakes and banana splits.We also brought home some coconut cake. Yum!They have an eclectic selection of antique glassware, cookbooks and other stuff to browse through.Sit on the porch and enjoy your delicious treat.

What a great place! It’s a family owned business with relics and antiques from the area. A lot of history in this place. It’s like stepping back in time. I had a banana split and it was amazing. We got peanut butter pie to take with us. It’s all homemade. The owner is very friendly and shared some local history with us. It’s just a great place to stop and relax with some ice cream. If your in the area, stop on by. You can thank me later. We will be back.

Cute little store full of an eclectic treasure trove of interesting items as well as a large variety of out of this world desserts including cakes, pies, and many flavors of ice cream- all made right there on the premises. The Italian Creme Cake reminded me of my mom's - delicious! Coconut creme pie, pecan pie, and many others. Right in the curve across from the Presbyterian Church on the way to Linville Falls Winery, definitely worth a stop!

Stopped by today but it was closed despite the fact that Google says it’s open. Looked pretty cool inside but unfortunately we were not able to go in.

The best home made desserts ever!! My husband and I shared a piece of cheesecake with blueberry topping, and my girls shared a peace of pecan pie. It was so hard to choose! The store is adorable and the husband and wife are delightful! We cannot wait to go back!!

My girlfriend and I are on vacation and decided to stop by this cute little shop. The owners are absolutely amazing people, so kind and inviting and pleasant to be around. They made us feel so welcomed and at home. The food is incredible, my girlfriend had a slice of the southern coconut pie and I had chocolate ice cream. All of their desserts are homemade and delicious. I plan on stopping by again before we leave!

We have been wanting to stop there for some time, and finally did today. It is a very cute store. A number of memorabilia and trinkets for sale inside. The Highlight are the desserts. My wife had the peach cobbler with ice cream. The kids and I had ice cream. I'll say the ice cream was delicious and creamy. The peach cobbler homemade and delicious. Apparently, all the desserts are homemade and pretty much sell out every day. The staff were very friendly. It was great having outside seating areas, and they brought your treats to you. Definitely worth a stop and a snack.

We stopped in on our way to Peddlin Pig. I’ve drove past a lot and always wanted to stop but never have. Today my girlfriend and I stopped in to get some apple cider. We loved the atmosphere even before we walked in. We were greeted and the owner was extremely nice and helpful. We left with our warm apple cider, blueberry cheesecake, and key lime pie. Our cider was delicious and made us want cups that refill themselves endlessly. We ate our dessert after we had Our dinner and it was absolutely scrumptious. I wish I had got the mans name, but if you see this thank you so much and we will see you again soon. Don’t forget to try the brisket and western sauce at Peddlin Pig. I can’t wait to try that good looking peanut butter pie.

The best ice cream around! They also have amazing homemade deserts and an assortment of merchandise. The storefront is right on a curve and comes up quickly. If you don't keep an eye out you'll miss it but definitely worth a visit!

What a great little store, some of the very best deserts we have ever had. Warm Peach Cobbler with warm vanilla ice cream was awsome. Then we added key lime pie, OMG the best. If you're in the area it is well worth the stop. The folks there are so hospital you'll feel like family.

What an amazing out of the way spot! Nice assortment of vintage and modern items and excellent warm apple crumb cobbler with ice cream. But the reasons to come visit are named Wayne and Jennifer. Just the nicest and most genuine people you'd ever want to meet. They'll restore your faith in people!
